染雾追风筝的人英文读后感 篇一
"The Kite Runner" is a captivating novel that takes readers on an emotional journey through friendship, betrayal, and redemption. Written by Khaled Hosseini, the story is set against the backdrop of Afghanistan's turbulent history and follows the life of a young boy named Amir.
One of the aspects that struck me the most about this book is Hosseini's ability to vividly portray the cultural and historical context of Afghanistan. Through his descriptive writing, I could almost feel the dusty streets of Kabul, smell the aromatic spices in the bazaars, and hear the echoes of war in the distance. The author's attention to detail and his knowledge of Afghan customs and traditions create a rich and immersive reading experience.
Furthermore, the characters in "The Kite Runner" are complex and deeply human. Amir, the protagonist, is flawed and haunted by guilt, making him relatable and realistic. I found myself rooting for him as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and attempts to make amends for his past mistakes. Hassan, Amir's loyal friend and servant, is another character that left a lasting impression on me. His unwavering loyalty and unwavering love for Amir despite the injustices he faces is both heartbreaking and inspiring.
The themes explored in this novel are universal and thought-provoking. The relationship between fathers and sons, the power of guilt and redemption, and the impact of war on individuals and societies are all explored with great depth and sensitivity. Hosseini's exploration of these themes forces readers to reflect on their own lives and consider the power of forgiveness and the consequences of our actions.
"The Kite Runner" is a beautifully written and emotionally charged novel that not only offers insight into the complex history of Afghanistan but also delves into the universal themes of redemption and forgiveness. It is a powerful reminder of the enduring power of friendship and the lengths one would go to make amends for past mistakes. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a compelling and thought-provoking read.

"The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini is a heart-wrenching tale of friendship, guilt, and the search for redemption. Set against the backdrop of Afghanistan's troubled history, this novel explores the complexities of human relationships and the devastating consequences of betrayal.
What struck me the most about this book is the author's ability to evoke a wide range of emotions in the reader. From the very beginning, I was drawn into the story and felt a deep connection with the characters. Hosseini's writing is both lyrical and raw, allowing the reader to experience the joy, pain, and desperation of the characters in a profoundly visceral way.
The central theme of friendship is explored in great depth throughout the novel. The bond between Amir and Hassan, despite their difference in social status, is initially unbreakable. However, as the story unfolds and Amir's guilt and jealousy take hold, their friendship becomes strained and ultimately shattered. This exploration of the complexities of friendship resonated with me and made me reflect on the importance of loyalty and the consequences of our actions.
Another aspect of the book that left a lasting impact on me is its portrayal of Afghanistan's turbulent history. From its depiction of the peaceful pre-war Kabul to the horrors of the Taliban regime, Hosseini provides a vivid and harrowing account of the country's transformation. Through the eyes of the characters, I gained a deeper understanding of the devastating effects of war and the resilience of the Afghan people.
"The Kite Runner" is not an easy read. It delves into dark and uncomfortable themes, and at times, it is difficult to witness the suffering and pain endured by the characters. However, it is precisely these elements that make the novel so powerful and thought-provoking. It forces readers to confront their own moral dilemmas and question the true nature of redemption.
In conclusion, "The Kite Runner" is a beautifully written and emotionally charged novel that explores the complexities of friendship, guilt, and redemption. It is a story that will stay with me long after I have finished reading it. I believe it is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the human condition and the power of forgiveness.
追风筝的人英文读后感 篇三
Its a moving story and a mixture of love,fear,guilty,atonement and so on.For a lont time,it makes the books we read lost their color.
The first time I read a book written by an Afghan atuhor named Khaled Hosseini ,it told a story between two boys.A rich boy Amir at the age of 12 and his servant Hasan were brotherly loved.Nevertheless,afer a kite game,something miserable happened.Amir feel grievous and guilty for his cowardice and he cannot confront Hansan,using something contempitable to let Hansan and his father leave his home.Not long,Afghanistan broke ou a war,Amir and his father had to fled to America.After his grown- up,he cannot forgave what he had done to Hansan before.And to atone for himself,he returned his hometown,which was destoryed badly by the war……
Maybe all of us more or less had done something as Amir did before,we are too young to understand others feelings when we broke their heart into pieces.We may feel guilty and miserable for waht we have done.But there is no use to cry over spilt milk.What we really should do is to face the reality and like Amir,to atone for ourselves.
追风筝的人英文读后感 篇四
This is a wonderful, beautiful epic of a novel. Set in Afghanistan and the United States between the 1970s to the present day, it is a heartbreaking tale of a young boy, Amir, and his best friend who are torn apart. This is a classic word-of-mouth novel and is sure to become as universally loved as The God of Small Things and The Glass Palace.
Twelve year old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father Baba, one of the richest and most respected merchants in Kabul. He has failed to do so through academia or brawn, but the one area where they connect is the annual kite fighting tournament. Amir is determined not just to win the competition but to run the last kite and bring it home triumphantly, to prove to his father that he has the makings of a man. His loyal friend Hassan is the best kite runner that Amir has ever seen, and he promises to help him - for Hassan always helps Amir out of trouble. But Hassan is a Shia Muslim and this is 1970s Afghanistan. Hassan is taunted and jeered at by Amirs school friends; he is merely a servant living in a shack at the back of Amirs house. So why does Amir feel such envy towards his friend? Then, what happens to Hassan on the afternoon of the tournament is to shatter all their lives, and define their futures.
The Kite Runner of Khaled Hosseinis deeply moving fiction debut is an illiterate Afghan boy with an uncanny instinct for predicting exactly where a downed kite will land. Growing up in the city of Kabul in the early 1970s, Hassan was narrator Amirs closest friend even though the loyal 11-year-old with "a face like a Chinese doll" was the son of Amirs fathers servant and a member of Afghanistans despised Hazara minority. But in 1975, on the day of Kabuls annual kite-fighting tournament, something unspeakable happened between the two boys.
Narrated by Amir, a 40-year-old novelist living in California, The Kite Runner tells the gripping story of a boyhood friendship destroyed by jealousy, fear, and the kind of ruthless evil that transcends mere politics. Running parallel to this personal narrative of loss and redemption is the story of modern Afghanistan and of Amirs equally guilt-ridden relationship with the war-torn city of his birth. The first Afghan novel to be written in English, The Kite Runner begins in the final days of King Zahir Shahs 40-year reign and traces the countrys fall from a secluded oasis to a tank-strewn battlefield controlled by the Russians and then the trigger-happy Taliban. When Amir returns to Kabul to rescue Hassans orphaned child, the personal and the political get tangled together in a plot that is as suspenseful as it is taut with feeling.
The son of an Afghan diplomat whose family received political asylum in the United States in 1980, Hosseini combines the unflinching realism of a war correspondent with the satisfying emotional pull of master storytellers such as Rohinton Mistry. Like the kite that is its central image, the story line of this mesmerizing first novel occasionally dips and seems almost to pe to the ground. But Hosseini ultimately keeps everything airborne until his heartrending conclusion in an American picnic park.
追风筝的人英文读后感 篇五
I have seen the novels name --the Kite Runner many times from the Internet,when it comes to "the novels moved you most".With curiosity,I downloaded it.When reading the novel,from the beginning to the end,I felt a heavy stone of sorrow on my heart.
It is a story about friendship,about fault and atonement,about the good and evil of human natual.
The narrator of the story,Amir ,is born in a rich family.Hassan is his servant as well as close friend.They both lose mother from birth and grow up like brothers.
From Hassan ,I see the most kind and beautiful soul.He never means to hurt anyone.he protects Amir bravely and has a broad mind to endure what Amir do to him.With the promise to run the kite,he hands the last cut kite to Amir though he has insulted by the bully,Assef. for lifetime,he cherishes the friendship,even he dies of protecting Amirs house."For you,a thousand times over"he does as he says…
If Hassan can be described as an angel, then Amir is just a person.when he is a boy,he is badly want fathers love and care.he will be jealous,he will fear and be cowardly.When he sees Hassan insulted by Assef,he is so scared that he only hides and watches.he sees what happened but keeps it as a secret.In order to escape the guilt,he makes another fault, making Hassan leave by framing Hassan .Years past, he is still haunted by betraying his childhood friend.
I was shocked when the big secret reveals: Hassan is Amirs half brother,the son of his father and a sevants wife! Amirs father lives a torturing life,he is torn into two parts.He cant give Hassan the love in the name of a father,which is unfair to Hassan.That explains why he seems care little about Amir …
Knowing the truth,Amir has a painful struggle at the first,and finally chooses the right way,a way of atonement.He rescues Hassans orphan ,Sorhab,from Assefs hand.At that time,he faces up to Assefs fists,being a man not cowardly.Having gone though a lot of difficulties,he finally brings Sorhab to American.But Sorhab is emotional damaged by adversity.Amir make efforts to revive the little heart.At the end of the story,Sorhab shows a lopside smile,which delights Amir much.Amir run kite for Hassans son,and says what Hassan once said,"for you, a thousand times over".The snow will be melt,and the spring is coming…The ending is not clearly told,but full of hope.
I like the author written style.Theres paragraghs of internal monologues,warm memorys , sad plots,horrible war scenes…the words,sentences always catch me tightly,make me think,make me cry…Now if someone ask me what novels impressed me most,The Kite Runner will be an answer.
It is the first time I have seen a novel in English.It is hard for me to insist on reading as there are so many words I have to look up.But it really benefit me in some way.
追风筝的人英文读后感 篇六
Several years ago,from joyo,I bought the book "the kite runner" which ranked first on best sellers volume.First reading the book,I was totally moved and even cried for the sad story.This year,I knew it has been adapted into a movie.After seeing the movie,I read again this book and gained some new views.
The novel begins a story about two boys.Amir is born in a rich family.Hassan is his servant as well as close friend.They both lose mother from birth and grow up like brothers.Hassan is very loyal to Amiar,but Amiar sells him.Many years later,Amir has settled down in America for years and established a family,but Hassan died for protecting Amirs luxury house in Afghanistan and leave an orphan.Accidentally,Amir gets to know a big secret and decides to atone for his crime that hound around him from childhood.
Reading it again,most of my original views has changed.
At the first place,I have a feeling of being cheated by the writer.The novel first attracted me before because it set its plot in a special environment---Afghanistan which even I often got news about from TV and newspaper,I knew the country utterly ignorant except wars and terrorism.So I wanted to understand more about the calamitous country.However,I am disappointed by the novel which just use a special background environment to tell a so-called travel of human nature .The theme of the novel should be atonement if it was taken off flowery coat.Bad g ay like Amir and and good g ay like Hassan,adding some the present best sellers polular elements like bastard,forming the main contents. In fact,the kite runner impressed me deeply and it just depends on sensational words.Besides,what makes me most dislike is that the writer,an Afghan-American,contorted some political elements for American advantages.The history background only make the affair of Russia invading and Taliban dictators go into particulars,but not mention Americas ignominious role in this politics.Why Taliban dictators are so unruly?Why Russia invaded Afghanistan in 1979?Why Afghan people still live in poor condition nowadays?America,a main actor is disposed of in this novel.
At the second place,the characters all serve to a tacky theme-atonement and birth secrects.When the birth secrects are exposed,the atonement travel begi
ns.When the atonement finishes,the story finishes.
I even feel I am wrapped around the American medias little finger.Many celebrities and book concerns writed good comments,which helped it ranke first on sales volume for several times and made readers think it must get widely praised and then bought it without doubt finally.
Though I think the disadvantages are more than advatages,compared with the back atonement part,I like the front part that describes the pure friendship and innocent childhood between two boys.The description about the culture of kite in Afghanistan is excellent.
As a first book of the writer,it is resonable that the novel has some deficiencies.I hope his next and next works can more and more perfect.
